From the same codices.
CommentaryEuticia, Martyr (St.)
Mary, virgin of God, Martyr (St.)
VI Innocents, Martyrs (SS.)
J. B. S.
I do not trouble myself about the name, whether she who is here set first be called Euticia or Eutilia. But Mary the virgin of God is so most clearly expressed in the text of Florentini, where he observes that a virgin consecrated to God is doubtless understood. Elsewhere, he says, we have already shown that even in the first centuries of the Church there were convents of consecrated virgins. The six anonymous ones who follow, crowned on one day, are called innocents, either because they were infants or because they were the virgin's companions. Neither he nor we have been able to find any other light. Just as much may you say of the following and last class of this day.
